Shear and Flexural Reinforcement Design of a Singly Reinforced Rectangle

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this example is to verify the flexural and shear design. A simple-
span, 6-m-long, 300-mm-wide, and 560-mm-deep beam is modeled. The beam is
shown in Figure 1. The computational model uses a finite element mesh of frame
elements, automatically generated. The maximum element size has been
specified to be 200 mm. The beam is supported by joint restraints that have no
rotational stiffness. One end of the beam has no longitudinal stiffness.

The beam is loaded with symmetric third-point loading. One dead load case
(DL50) and one live load case (LL130) with only symmetric third-point loads of
magnitudes 50, and 130 kN, respectively, are defined in the model. One load
combination (COMB130) is defined using the KBC 2009 load combination
factors of 1.2 for dead loads and 1.5 for live loads. The model is analyzed for
both of those load cases and the load combinations.

Table 1 shows the comparison of the design longitudinal reinforcements. Table 2

shows the comparison of the design shear reinforcements.

Shear Design
The following quantities are computed for all of the load combinations:
φ = 0.75

The concrete limit is:

f ck = 5.48 MPa < 8.4 MPa

The concrete shear capacity is given by:

φVc = 1/6φ f ck bd = 102.69 kN
The maximum shear that can be carried by reinforcement is given by:

φVs= 0.25φ f ck bd = 154.05 kN

The following limits are required in the determination of the reinforcement:
φVc/2 = 51.35 kN
φVmax = φVc + φVs = 256.75 kN
Given Vu, Vc and Vmax, the required shear reinforcement in area/unit length for
any load combination is calculated as follows:
